Transform your mind: go home
When you have nothing to fall back on you will find you are home.
Home is not a place but a feeling of connection. We merely attach that feeling to places and people. But external circumstances change throughout our lives. It is therefore easy to end up homeless, with no place of emotional warmth to run to, a cold and lost state. Having to run anywhere is the source of the problem. Home is not somewhere else.
When we die, our senses retract from the outside world and we disappear into the unknown darkness that lies within and beyond. It is a beautiful darkness. The only reason dying alone sounds so horrible is that we spend so much energy avoiding being alone in our lifetime. To be afraid of death is to be afraid of being alone, to be afraid of being alone is to be afraid of death.
Humanity is split within. We are so obsessed with avoiding being alone that we have created such a negative weight around the word “loneliness”. The reason it has developed such a negative ring to it is because very few have actually had the courage to follow this feeling and find the warmth hiding underneath. Loneliness is the first stage of finding ourselves and becoming much more content.
Loneliness is an opportunity to grow, it is the beginning of the realization that we are already home, here and now. All we have to do is be with ourselves and listen. Aloneness is the key to your true home, an ever present place of warmth and love. A state of being where the “other” does not exist, the inner warmth toppling all separation, created by fears from the mind.
Listening and making a point of loving yourself is the key to finding this deep well of gold hidden within. Through attentive non judgemental self listening and taking the time to meditate, the barrier of illusions you’ve built to escape being alone will gradually dissipate and the fire of being will be set free into everything you are. Then we can truly feel at home, because our home is wherever we are.
When you have nothing to fall back on you will find you are home.
